Company Name
Rushworth & Dreaper

Dave McCluskey was like so many of his peers growing up in Liverpool after the Beatles who joined a rock band. He started off on guitar but switched to bass. In 1988 he landed the perfect job that allowed him to gig at night, while working in music retail during the day. Dave was a salesman for Rushworth's Music House, one of the largest music stores in Liverpool. He loved the store and  also loved Liverpool for all that the city had done for music. Since the store closed in the 1990s, Dave has become a writer with each of his books always including a little nod to Liverpool. Dave and fellow music retailer Tony Bolland wrote a novel together that incorporated Liverpool and music titled In The Mood For Murder.
